      Chevrolet is continuing to push the boundaries of what people will think of an EV pickup with the ZR2 off-road race truck concept that took part in the MINT 400 off-road race.

    Chevrolet is proud to announce the Silverado EV ZR2 off-road race truck as part of the Hall Racing Team lineup. This truck will take part in the notorious Mint 400 off-road race event. This truck will join the existing race teams Silverado ZR2 and Colorado ZR2 race trucks as a three-truck race team and the EV ZR2 will compete in the Open Production EV Class.

    Chevrolet has state that there is no better testing ground than the unlimited outdoor race events such as the Mint 400.

    The Silverado EV ZR2 Race truck concept came together in five months of development. The EV ZR2 take the Silverado to a new level of performance in that the truck has 37-inch BF Goodrich KM3 Mud-Terrain tires, tri-motor electric propulsion system that creates 1,100 horsepower and 11,500 lb-ft of torque more than earning it's right to wear the ZR2 badge.

    Racing of the EV ZR2 has already help develop more than 44 off-road performance parts that owners can buy from the dealerships parts department to enhance their truck. 

    The Silverado EV ZR2 reveal starts the launch of a summer of fun with Chevrolet introducing the first off-road EV Silverado in the form of the 2026 Silverado EV Trail Boss edition. This truck will come with an OEM factory installed lift, 18-inch wheels, 35-inch all-terrain tires and red tow hooks. This allows the truck to have 13-inches of front and rear wheel travel. The truck will also come with a new Terrain mod giving the truck increased maneuverability in tight spaces.

      TECH question ... Now that I have your attention ... - - - - - On an Android phone, is it possible to pull an app from the Settings>Apps onto the home screen or one of the home screens without getting it from the Google Store? (This is because it's no longer available on the Google Store and it's for its "sentimental value."  I just want it back on one of my screens.) So, to take it from Apps to screen(s) ... Thanks.

      Cadillac News: 2026 Escalade IQL Electric Sibling to the Escalade ESV

      By smk4565 · Posted

      It is still a matter of packaging.  I have not been in an Escalade EV since I don’t know how roomy it is, it better be huge in there.  But i have been in some SUV’s were the 3rd row is basically useless, I think the Volvo EVX90 or whatever it is called is like that.     And this might be an EV issue, the need to shrink the battery so it doesn’t eat cabin space.  And that might take years.

      As I have stated elsewhere, plenty of EVs coming off Lease that will make them great bargains for folks that need a commuter auto or run around local town driving.

      ASSumption is what makes ASS out of people. ASSumption is what the ID Buzz is a FAILURE at. 6ft is not my 6FT 6" size. You are making the wrong assumption that a vehicle that is large is not needed. German car companies seem to have in the last few decades FAILED at making roomy autos for the large folks. To ASSUME everyone is the same leg length, body length, shoulder width, etc. is an ERROR that fails to acknowledge that we are all different sizes.  You SOUND like the folks that see me fuel up and say I can fit in a compact and should not be driving such a large auto. Let me ask you this: What is your inseam? This is the measure from the floor to your crotch. Mine is 40", I have long legs and as such seats have to go back farther than most people. What is your Shoulder width? Mine is 58", which makes airplane seats that are 28" wide a pain for me to sit in no different than most auto's. To Assume EVERYONE can fit in smaller cars just because some says a bunch of 6 footers can fit in an auto ignores the various measurements that are taken and depending on where they are taken, one size does not fit all. Yes, I KNOW that I am much larger than most people. I know I have never fit in mid-size or smaller autos till I bought the 2024 EV9 which has far more room inside than my 2006 Escalade. Does EVERYONE need an Escalade IQL, no, but then we do live in a democracy where last I heard it was a choice. You have a choice to drive a Mercedes just as I have a choice to drive a Cadillac and Kia. Just so you can see, here is a picture of my wife who is 5'8" tall and myself at 6'6" tall. While my wife is considered tall for Korean, she is considered normal size. I on the other hand am not normal or average size.

      Me too….He has done a good job.   A little church is a good thing- it keeps me off social media for a while. Getting quite wild out there now……   At this point I’m running the Trax/ Equinox into the ground. And on the hunt for a beater for myself ( to replace the Cobalt that got hit head on last year) and one for my son.  Nothing new for a while over here…….
